med-man brand grow rooms/ production sites

the blue deez got it worst out of the 2 kinds. but still grew med grade tops.....a typical coffee kush top.......mmmmmm purple chunks ahoy.........for what its worth with all the issues the coffee kush grew some awesome chunks of purple buds that smell like freshly ground coffe beans x kush hash.....heres a couple blueberry diesels. from the same room with the same issues. still put out beautifully coated buds. over 1 poundthis is a over 1 pound coffee kush plant. it suffered floods, droughts, cal mag and nute deficiency, powdery mildew and mites. but still grew monster med grade colas.from left to right: coffee kush, mapleberry and blue diesel.....blueberry diesel, one of the best tree plants. it has spacey nodes and grows rock hard fuely blue buds. not much leaf or popcorn as light easily penetrates the canopy........my coffe kush clone can out veg sativas any day of the week, and yields massive........this is 6 weeks in veg, over 5 feet tall already do the math lol.......a perfect mapleberry specimen. she is a monster producer of sweet blueberry, trichome coated colas.........the trees are coffee kush, blue diesel and mapleberry, at about 6 weeks old.......pk preveging........a couple weeks old.......here they are first day of flower. these guys felt some nute and heat issues from the veg room, which is dialed now..........these are some mapleberry and coffee kush 1 weeks to being flowered........im in the midst of converting a 5 room dirt grow to hydro. expert dirt growers always prefer hydro to soil once its dialed, which isnt hard to do. these are og kush on the left in the first phase and purple kush on the right........this is the 3 stage veg room..... this is my non-prifit breeding prigram for the community. back left is a green giant, front left is an island sweet skunk, the next row from left is 2 female ultra kushes and on male, in the tray are chronics, og kush(la kush), and my own strain indikind, and furthest right is one afgahni kush and two purple kushes:)

they are started in in 5 gal grow bags or pots then transplanted at 2 feet to 20 gallon pots

the plan is to let each plant take up a 4 by 4 by 4 area

plants are grown in 20 gallon pots and should be 5-10 feet tall when ripe

this is 1/4 of a 120 plant/120 light medical grow

ogkush is by far one of my all time favortie strains. LA'S finest og kush produces rock hard pop corn nuggets that have the usual kush smell with a strong piney undertone. the high is more cerebral then the purple kush due to the fact it does have some sative in it from the infamous chem dawg family. this high is immediate and long lasting and extremely powerful. one of the strongest highs and tastiest herbs on the planet. where is this strain at the cannabis cup? sorry arjan, but this specimen would probably dominate like the northern lights used to if entered. the taste is exactly like the smell- kush times pine cones:)

this is the middle 1/3 of the space

this is the right 1/3 of the room

here are the same ogkush 4 weeks later. this is the left 1/3 of the room

the closet ( pictured below) is cooled by a 100 dollar danby "window banger" air conditioner, which sits on the floor next to the closet on a styrofaom sheet,via a fitted 4 inch duct which enters at the lowest point in the grow room. hot air is sucked out of the highest point in the doorway (pictured above). temp is at a constant 40% humidity and 76 degrees Fahrenheit. optimal conditions for a perfect grow. with my advice the intake was dropped to the floor and duct shortened as much as possible to maximise vortex air flow and electricity used by the ac.

this is the other half of the walk-in closet.this these ladies were a bit shorter on average so they are getting 3 consecutive days of light instead of 12hr shifts from their lamp before flowering to give em an extra boost. the feeding program is my o.g. (original grower) advanced nutrients program.

this is one half of of roughly a 4ft by 8 ft walk-in closet. and in it is L.A.'s finest: the o.g. kush. the plants are two weeks old, illuminated by 2 600w digital hps chrome dome bulbs(90,000 initial lumen's!) and ready to be flipped into flowering. the grower took his time veging by leaving only one light on at a time for 12 hrs with the bulbs 5 feet away. when you allow plants more then enough time and everything they need in it, it truly shows in their health and vigour. these ladies were picture perfect. master secret- always take your time!!! haste makes for waste!!!!

this producer is seconding as a veg/mother room. from left to right- great white shark, the middle prop tray is vegging chronic, green giant and white widow, white widow and finally the infamous island sweet skunk. every row (3 plants deep) can easily produce 50 cuttings a week without c02. so the whole box with all rows filled can easily produce 300 a week . on average a rooted clone in a 3 inch cube can go for 10-20 bucks in the medical community. i'll bet with gas and a full box, 500 cuttings can be taken a week. i'll let you do the math. mothers are so strong and recover so fast in hydroponic systems!!! to save energy this box runs the hps for 12 hours and the 200 watt sunblaster compact fluorescent, form future harvest development, the other 12 hours.

hydroponic white diesel from sensi seeds on the left and cali's legendary purple kush on the right

hydroponic purple kush under 600w bulbs

with hydroponics and co2 it isnt uncommon to see fully dense flowers after 2 weeks of flowering

notice if you can how strong and dense these secondary branches are

this 4 by 8 foot table is packed with branches stretching to the light. the key to great yields is maximising every square milimeter of your grow space.

these green cracks are just 17 days into flower

this last shelf is days away from boxing and distribution

this is the room next door. the left shelf is incubating, the right one is rooting

just one ikea shelf and 6 1 ft t-5 sunblasters can easily manage up t0 12 prop trays and any stage of germinating seeds, rooting clones, vegging clones and seedlings . pictured here is (from bottom to top) "oasis" seeds sprouting,afgahn/kush clones rooting, "chronic" clones veging at 10 days, "green giant" clones at 20 days, an empty area and finally some great white shark seeds on the left and island sweet skunks on the right. this tiny set up can easily ensure the grower a constant and consistent flow of medical grade marijuana strains and control over culling out any weaker specimens effectively and dramatically increasing yield and quality!!!

the two plants front left are purple kush, the remaining plants are el nino. mixing strains in the boxes tend to effect yield negatively

plants with too much sativa cannot be given vegg time. the plants on the right had to be cut in half 3 times before they stoppd stretching. this is a waste of time, money and medicine. though some of this batch still netted some world class cannabis

roots should have the same colour as your nutrients solution and be thick and strong,

purple kush

this green crack actually has more purple then purple kush at harvest

this box has 9 purple kush and 9 green crack

here are some happy hawaiian and chronic bushes 3 days to flipping the lights to 12/12

the tallest plant in the garden, back left, is a green giant, a superior clone ive grown for the last 4 years. its thick branches and leaves, vigorous growth and monster colas(even on the side branches) and a resin content which rivals white widow make it a perfect specimen for medicine and cash croppers alike. its already twice the size of all the other plants!

chronic, hawaiian and afgooey

this was a medical system using popular commercial lighting methods in bc. i still recomend adjustawing or bell lr 1000 for medical setups for optimal use of light and space

this is purple kush 15 days to harvest(hydroponic)

this is more purple kush, 10 days to harvest
(hydroponic)

these roots covered 2 square feet with help from advanced nutrients and hydrogen peroxide

this foto was taken after 2 wks of flowering and 1 week of veg

hundreds if not thousands of medical cuttings can be rooted in a small location using shelving to maximize space

the grower in this medical grow in mission bc really neglected his garden resulting in powdery mildew which stunted growth which lowered yield and quality. never the less the system i created still netted some monster buds, they were just a fraction of their potential

gently twisting and bending stalks will easily double a plants size and strength

the one plant directly in front of the blue ox co2 generator should have wieghed over 225g, but neglect resulted in it being around 90g

these are all female seeds i bred in manitoba in the 90's their pedigree is haze, juicy fruit, white widow, hawaiian, northern lights and a strange plant grown for years outdoors in mb which provided the pollen

this grow was created by the grower on my design via phone and internet

this og kush took 8 weeks and netted almost 8 pounds from 6 600w digital lumatek ballasts, ajustawing reflectors and hrtilux bulbs 10 lb could have been create dif the cuttings were all equal in vigour when purchased

more og kush 14 days to harvest

this was an experimental sea of green hydroponic set up, legends ultamate indica was the variety, unfortunatly the plants were vegged more then 3 days and grew to tall to aloow any light to pentrate the canopy

veg babies under flourscents 2-4 weeks before harvest so they can be flowered immediatly in any set up you use

hi there nice grows...i was wonderin wid da og kush grow (6x600w) the yield was 8pounds and u said it can be 10....but with the pueple kush bed grow u said 2x7 grows which is only 14 pounds per year...it seems that u get more than a pound with the og kush even though its a 600w vs the pk under 1000w...

second thing is in the hydro beds how does the drainage work? and are the net baskets witting in only white poly? I was thinking of the same bed idea with aeroponic tubes 5 per bed with sprinklers in them....

actually my friend, digital 600w ballasts and hi end lamps are as bright if not brighter then 1000w setups for half the heat and half the power. those 600w were used with adjustawing reflectors and light spreaders. the light spreaders allow 600w to be placed sometimes as close as 12 inches to the canopy, delivering 3 times the total amount of light the a 1000w at 24 inches. i dont remember any pk "bed" in my blog:)

in my feng shui"water fall" system< the tables are sloped over a resovoir where the drain hole is placed, so all the solution drains to the lowest corner, they were all assembled with supplies from a hardware store, avoiding any heaty"hydro stores" which alot of people avoid in smalltown canada and especially in the us. i myself wanted to toy with aero in these tables but the headaches that could be involved made it not woth the experiment to me, maybe one day soon il giver a go, if you do< please send me pics to growyourownmedicine@hotmail.com:)
